Ahahahaha! That was brilliant and funny! I love the twist. Let's just hope that Murray Brown is more receptive on behalf of the Superman Foundation.  (I started the thread as "419", not "319" since it looked like that was what you had intended as title.)
Lois: You know, I have a funny feeling that you didn't tell me your biggest secret.
Clark: Well, just to put your little mind at ease, Lois, you're right.

LOL That email sounded so familiar! Does that mean the money I could have received was from Lex?  Fun idea, Natascha

This was great. I recieved a similar e-mail myself.

Freakin' hilarious! Concise, to the point, just long enough. And *so* topical and appropriate in these days of e-mail scams.
I laughed for fifteen minutes.
Well done!

This was both funny and brilliant.  Just think, maybe some of those emails are legitimate and someone really does want to give you buckets of money if only you would email them back.  Bob

That was great! I laughed so hard! 
I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind.
Some come from ahead and some come from behind.
But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see.
Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!

Yet another excellent story. It has been done at least once before in a different medium. Irregular Webcomic Nigerian Finance Minister note first strip in that theme.

I thought it was funny since it was so personalized yet so much like the regular scam.

You mean I really did win the International Lottery FIVE times? And the IRS really does want to give me back more money?
